GROUP THERAPY INTENSIVES

How it Works

Each intensive is a half-day session where participants take turns receiving individual therapy in a supportive, group setting. While one participant engages in a session with the therapist, the other two observe, gaining valuable insights through witnessing different approaches to similar challenges. This structure fosters reflection, connection, and practical learning.

Benefits of Group Therapy Intensives

Diverse Perspectives: Observing how others navigate challenges can inspire new ways of thinking and approaching your own situations.
Enhanced Self-Reflection: Watching peers in therapy often prompts personal insights and a deeper understanding of your own experiences.
Skill Development: Learn strategies, techniques, and coping mechanisms by seeing how the therapist supports others, and apply these tools to your own life.
Empathy and Connection: Share a space with individuals facing similar struggles, fostering mutual support and understanding.

How are groups selected?

To ensure each Group Therapy Intensive is impactful and tailored to participants’ needs, we take great care in creating groups with aligned concerns.

This personalized approach allows for deeper connection, meaningful insights, and relevant therapeutic exploration.
